Swapped my heavy SLR for a point and shoot on a trip to Portland and got way better candids

Oh man, that's honestly a huge mood. It's like the second you don't have a giant camera strapped to your face, people just forget you're there and act normal. lol. I swear that SLR look makes everyone tense up like they're about to be on trial. Then you whip out a tiny point and shoot and suddenly everyone's relaxed and having fun. It's almost too easy. Glad you figured out the cheat code for candid shots, honestly wish I'd done that years ago.

Oh my gosh, isn't that the truth! My nephew is a professional photographer and he told me that his biggest trick is using a little film camera that looks like a toy, people just ignore it. @tessa_kim3 I bet you're getting some of the best candid shots at parties now with that little point and shoot.
